✨ Friday Staff Feature: Mr. Isaiah Pulley ✨

Today we’re celebrating Mr. Isaiah — our STEM Director and a proud former Club kid whose journey has come full circle.

Isaiah first came to the Club in second grade, remembering it as “very fun” and a place where he built friendships and found belonging. He credits the Club with helping him grow: “Some skills I learned were not to give up… The Club gave me the opportunity to refine my homework skills and get reassurance in my learning.”

After studying cybersecurity at BRCC and NCCU, a Club mentor helped him return in 2020 — this time as staff. Now, he’s helping youth build digital confidence through esports, podcasting, coding, media, and more. “Some of our kids have not had enough training in digital literacy… so it is my job to give that to them.”

Some of his favorite moments happen outdoors — from kayaking to fishing — where kids build courage and learn in new ways. He laughs remembering one trip: “The kids saw me fall in the water, but they also learned how to overcome their fears.”

He’s proud of how far the Club has come since his childhood: “STEM was not present when I was a kid. Now we offer esports, podcasts, 3D printing, cameras, media production, music production.”

Outside of work, Isaiah loves fishing, gaming, football, and helping people with tech and AI projects. His advice to members: “Confidence is key… You have to take action.”

We’re grateful for Mr. Isaiah — for leading with kindness, sharing his expertise, and giving back to the community that helped raise him. 💙
